To be fair, most of the time yoko has blamed both Boeing and the pilots, or more precisely their training. And his insight adds a lot to the discussion. Compared to some of the rabid posts against the pilots we had a couple of months ago, we can almost view him as coming in defense of the pilots. I don't even remember him using the "A" word yet as part of the discussion.
Sometimes I disagree with his opinions, but at least for the facts part I didn't find anything wrong in his posts. At some point me and other posters thought we caught an obvious error in his claims, but when doing a bit of research I realized he was actually right.
He does seem to have a lot of information that most people don't have, which suggests he has access to some inside information directly or indirectly. But I regard that as a positive thing. We have a lot of questions that are not answered yet, and I for one welcome informed posts instead of assumptions and speculation.
That being said, he posts a lot. He seems to have a compulsion to reply to anyone that has an opinion that is even slightly different from his. That is becoming a bit annoying, but I think I can live with that, considering the rest of his contributions.
